Hi
I have a terrible error at my site
My site was attacked and I had to delete a bunch of files. I have recently updated the Enfold theme but now there is a error:Fatal error: Cannot redeclare av_countdown_events_fallback() (previously declared in /customers/8/3/f/xxxx.xxx/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown/events_countdown.php:16) in /customers/8/3/f/xxxx.xxx/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown.php on line 8
What to do?
Hey bojsenit,
Sorry to hear that your website is compromised. Most websites are set up with less or no security at all. Such websites are an easy target for hackers and bots to gain access and take advantage. Some of the security steps you should immediately consider are:
1. Scan your site with a good WordPress security and antivirus plugin or ask your hosting company to check for any infected scripts that may be the reason for this issue.
2. Install a Firewall on your site.
3. Secure your WordPress login page by masking the default wp-admin link using a security plugin.
4. Disable directory browsing.
5. Disable access to WordPress backend from an unknown IP address.If none of the above help you please go ahead and re-install the theme and plugins files and secure your website. For more information please check the FTP install guide.
For more helpful tips please check this link also google the term “WordPress better security”.
Always backup your website and perform the changes :)
Best regards,
Vinay
